Gilbertology is the study of Gilbert Arenas, All-Star and starting point guard for the Washington Wizards.

The word “Gilbertology” was first heard from Washington Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan in late April, 2005 before a playoff game against the Chicago Bulls when describing Gilbert’s odd behavior on and off the court. “He’s not moving to the beat of a different drummer,” Jordan said. “He’s moving to a different beat.”

The suffix “-logy” means “study of”, derived from the Greek, and the stern “Gilbert-” meaning “bright promise”, of Old French origin.

Because Gilbertology is such a new discipline, it is difficult to define, even for professional Gilbertologists. Many of the studies and findings are purely based on observations and quotes of Gilbert Arenas and his peers.

In Lesson 2, we will go deeper into Gilbertology by exploring where Gilbert’s unorthodox upbringing and what could have been a cause into his “uniqueness”.
